Taylor Decker Injury News & Updates
Nov 23, 2025
Playing Sunday
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The starting left tackle has been dealing with the issue throughout the season, though he was considered a non-participant in Wednesday's walkthrough this past week. Decker practiced on a limited basis the next day and appears good to go for Sunday. He has started all eight games he's played in this season.
Nov 20, 2025
Limited practice Thursday
Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Decker was considered a non-participant for the team's walkthrough Wednesday, but he was able to make his return to the practice field Thursday. The offensive tackle has been nursing a shoulder injury all season, so he seems likely to play Sunday against the Giants.
Nov 19, 2025
Sits out practice Wednesday
Decker (shoulder) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker's absence is likely precautionary as he managed to play through the injury in the Week 11 loss versus Philadelphia. The 2016 first-round pick should thus be able to suit up for Sunday's matchup versus the Giants.
Nov 16, 2025
Good to go for SNF
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday night's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Decker was listed as questionable after a couple limited practices this week, but he's good to go at left tackle. Decker has dealt with injuries seemingly most of the season.
Nov 14, 2025
Questionable for Week 11
Decker (shoulder/rest) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Decker continues to work through a lingering shoulder injury. He was limited in the first two practices before sitting out of Friday's session, though it could have been for rest and maintenance purposes. Penei Sewell (ankle) is also listed as questionable, so Dan Skipper would be the top option to start at offensive tackle if Sewell or Decker were to be ruled out for Week 11.
Nov 12, 2025
Still dealing with shoulder issue
Decker (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been dealing with a shoulder issue for most of the season. He missed Weeks 5 and 6 due to the injury but has started every game since. That suggests he has a good chance of suiting up Sunday against the Eagles, though his practice status the remainder of this week bears monitoring.
Nov 9, 2025
Cleared to play Week 10
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Decker drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game due to a shoulder injury, but the veteran offensive lineman has been cleared to play and start at left tackle after going through pregame warmups.
Nov 7, 2025
Tagged as questionable Week 10
Decker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Decker posted a DNP-LP-DNP practice log during Week 10 prep while tending to a shoulder injury. Dan Skipper would be in line to start at left tackle if Decker is unable to play, though the former is also listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a back injury.
Nov 6, 2025
Back at practice
Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Decker was able to return to practice after opening the week as a non-participant Wednesday due to the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 9 against the Vikings. The offensive tackle isn't overly worried about the injury, saying Thursday that, "it'll be there, but I don't foresee an issue," in regards to his availability for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News.
Nov 5, 2025
Dealing with shoulder issue
Decker (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker exited Sunday's loss to the Vikings with a knee injury, but he was instead on the injury report with a shoulder issue that has plagued him the last several weeks. He's played through the injury since Week 7, so he should have a chance to play in Week 10 against the Commanders.
Nov 2, 2025
Exits game with knee injury
Decker (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Decker was able to leave the field under his own power, and his knee is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Dan Skipper has entered the game at left tackle following Decker's exit.
Nov 2, 2025
Active Sunday
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Decker logged a limited practice on Wednesday as well as a full practice Thursday in preparation for Sunday's game. The starting left tackle has been dealing with a shoulder injury most of the season, but is finally clear of any injury status. With Decker back in the starting slot, Dan Skipper will return to operating in a reserve capacity.
Oct 31, 2025
Draws questionable tag
Decker (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been dealing with the shoulder injury most of the season, but he played in Week 7 and had a bye week to get additional rest. He did not practice Friday after logging a limited and full session to begin the week, which suggests he should be in line to play. However, his status won't become official until shortly before kickoff against Minnesota on Sunday.
Oct 20, 2025
Good to go Week 7
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Decker missed the Lions' last two games while tending to a shoulder injury, but he has progressed enough in his recovery to make his return Monday. Decker will slide back into his starting spot at left tackle, which means Dan Skipper will operate in a reserve role.
Oct 18, 2025
Trending toward Week 7 return
Decker (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker ended the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions, but head coach Dan Campbell relayed Saturday that the veteran offensive lineman is "trending the right way" for Monday night's game, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. If Decker does indeed play, he'll resume his starting role at left tackle while Dan Skipper provides depth.
Oct 16, 2025
Limited to open week
Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been sidelined for the Lions' last two games due to a shoulder injury. His ability to practice in a limited capacity Thursday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery, and his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the Buccaneers on Monday.
Oct 11, 2025
Won't play vs. Kansas City
Decker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Decker was unable to practice this past week due to a shoulder injury and will miss a second consecutive game as a result. With Decker and Giovanni Manu (knee) both ruled out, Dan Skipper could serve as the Lions' starting left tackle for Sunday's contest.
Oct 10, 2025
Questionable after three DNPs
Decker (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker didn't practice at all this week, but the Lions are leaving the door open for him to face Kansas City after Decker missed last Sunday's win over the Bengals. Giovanni Manu made the start in Decker's place last week and was the weak link on the offensive line. Dan Skipper was recently signed to the active roster and could be an option to start in Decker's place if he's unable to play.
Oct 9, 2025
Unavailable for practice
Decker (shoulder) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker has opened the week with back-to-back absences at practice, as he continues to nurse a shoulder injury. The offensive lineman will have one more chance to practice before Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.
Oct 5, 2025
Won't play Week 5
Decker (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Decker was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury, which will prevent him from playing Sunday. Fourth-round rookie Giovanni Manu is slated to make the first start of his NFL career at left tackle in Decker's absence.
Oct 5, 2025
Trending toward sitting Sunday
The Lions downgraded Decker (shoulder) from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Decker was unable to practice at any point this week, and though the Lions initially held out some hope that he might be able to play through the shoulder injury Sunday, the team is now leaning toward holding him out. The Lions are likely to turn to 2024 fourth-round pick Giovanni Manu to make his first career start at left tackle in Decker's stead.
Oct 3, 2025
Questionable against Cincinnati
Decker (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Decker dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the season but has yet to miss a start and has logged over 97 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps through four games. Giovanni Manu would likely draw the start at left tackle if Decker is unable to play.
Sep 14, 2025
Good to go Sunday
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The starting left tackle was listed as questionable Friday after missing practice all week. Decker played all 65 of Detroit's offensive snaps in Week 1 and has been a perennial starter since getting drafted by the team in 2016.
Sep 12, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Decker (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Decker played all of Detroit's 65 offensive snaps in Week 1, but he was not able to practice at all during the week afterwards. If he's unable to play in Week 2, the Lions may call on 2024 fourth-rounder Giovanni Manu to start at left tackle.
Sep 10, 2025
Dealing with shoulder injury
Decker (shoulder) didn't participate in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker had been dealing with undisclosed injury prior to the team's Week 1 loss to Green Bay, but it's unclear if that's related to the shoulder injury that sidelined him Wednesday. If he ends up being unable to play in Sunday's game versus Chicago, Giovanni Manu would likely get the start at left tackle in his place.
Sep 3, 2025
Set to be play in Week 1
Decker (undisclosed) was not listed on the Lions' estimated injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been dealing with an undisclosed injury since the beginning of training camp, but he now looks to be a full go ahead of Week 1. The left tackle's status at Thursday's practice will be worth monitoring, but the 31-year-old is likely set to start in Sunday's regular-season opener in Green Bay.
Aug 11, 2025
Making progress in recovery
Decker (undisclosed) ramped up his activity during Monday's training camp practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been tending to an undisclosed injury since the start of training camp, but after passing a physical a little more than a week ago, it seems like he's nearing a return to full strength. Until he's back to 100 percent, Giovanni Manu may see some action with the starters at left tackle.
Aug 3, 2025
Passes physical Sunday
Decker (undisclosed) passed his physical and was activated from the active/PUP list Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker is now officially back in action after dealing with an undisclosed injury to open training camp. The 30-year-old will once again serve as the team's starting left tackle in his 10 season with Detroit.
Jul 17, 2025
Moves to active/PUP list
Decker (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The starting left tackle's injury remains unclear, though it does not appear to be serious given his designation, which allows him to return in time for Detroit's preseason opener July 31 against the Chargers. Decker has started all 131 regular-season and postseason games he's played in since being drafted in the first round by the Lions in 2016.
Dec 11, 2024
Full participant in practice
Decker (knee) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Decker hasn't played since suffering a knee injury during the team's Week 12 win over the Colts but is now one-step closer to making his return. The 2016 first-round pick will return to his role as the Lions' starting right tackle for their game against the Bills on Sunday.
Dec 4, 2024
Ruled out vs. Green Bay
Decker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Packers, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker will miss a second straight game. Dan Skipper made the start at left tackle last Thursday against Chicago and should be there again this Thursday night versus Green Bay.
Dec 2, 2024
Stays sidelined
Decker (knee) did not practice Monday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker missed the Lions' Thanksgiving Day win over the Bears and could be in danger of missing Thursday's game against the Packers. A clearer picture of his status likely won't be available closer to kickoff though.
Nov 27, 2024
No go for Thanksgiving
Decker (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker will be forced to miss the team's Thanksgiving contest with Chicago as a result of the knee injury he sustained in Week 12 versus the Colts. Dan Skipper is a top candidate to take over at left tackle against the Bears.
Nov 26, 2024
May not play Thursday
Decker (knee) was a non-participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been sidelined for both walkthroughs this week due to a knee injury that he may have picked up during Sunday's 24-6 win over the Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Tuesday that he is not optimistic that Decker will be able to play against the Bears on Sunday, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. If Decker is sidelined, Dan Skipper and Colby Sorsdal would be the top candidates to start at left tackle.
Nov 14, 2024
Practices in full Thursday
Decker (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The starting left tackle was a limited participant in Wednesday's session. After missing Detroit's Week 10 win over the Texans, Decker is trending toward returning for the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. Decker has started all eight games he's appeared in this season and all 120 that he's played in over the course of his career.
Nov 8, 2024
Won't play in Week 10
Decker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Decker popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a shoulder injury. It kept him out of practice Friday, and it appears the injury is severe enough for Decker to be sidelined for Sunday's game. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 17. Dan Skipper and Colby Sorsdal are the top candidates to start at left tackle in Decker's absence.
Nov 1, 2024
Cleared to play Week 9
Decker (chest) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Decker began the week missing practice due to a chest issue, but he returned to a limited session Thursday before practicing in full Friday. He'll thus be able to take on his usual role as Detroit's starting left tackle Sunday versus Green Bay.
Oct 30, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Decker (chest) didn't practice Wednesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker played 42 offensive snaps in Sunday's blowout win over the Titans, but it appears he sustained a chest injury in the process. The Ohio State product will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 9, when the Lions travel to Green Bay.
Jul 29, 2024
Inks extension with Detroit
The Lions signed Decker to a three-year, $60 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker is slated to make $13.7 million under his current contract in 2024, and this extension will keep him in Detroit through the 2027 season. The 2016 first-round pick out of Ohio State has started all 112 regular-season games that he's appeared in since entering the league, and he's expected to remain the Lions' top left tackle for the foreseeable future.
Jul 29, 2024
Inks extension with Detroit
The Lions signed Decker to a three-year, $60 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker is slated to make $13.7 million under his current contract in 2024, and this extension will keep him in Detroit through the 2027 season. The 2016 first-round pick out of Ohio State has started all 112 regular-season games that he's appeared in since entering the league, and he's expected to remain the Lions' top left tackle for the foreseeable future.
Apr 16, 2024
Recovered from offseason surgery
Decker said Tuesday he underwent foot/ankle surgery this offseason and resumed working out mid-February, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker appears already recovered from his offseason procedure. The 30-year-old left tackle only missed two regular-season games last season, while suiting up for all three of Detroit's postseason contests. Now heading into the final year of his contract, Decker is still playing at a high level.
Dec 28, 2023
No designation for Saturday
Decker (groin) logged a full practice session Thursday and does not have an injury designation for Saturday's game against Dallas, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday, but his ability to return to a full session Thursday means he's clear to suit up Saturday against the Cowboys. The left tackle has played every offensive snap for Detroit since Week 4 and will look to extend that streak in Saturday's crucial contest.
Dec 27, 2023
Doesn't practice Wednesday
Decker (groin) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
This is a step in the wrong direction after Decker was estimated as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walk-through. The Lions have an important matchup in Dallas on Saturday, and if Decker is unable to suit up, Colby Sorsdal or Dan Skipper would likely step into his role at left tackle.
Sep 28, 2023
Active for TNF against Green Bay
Decker (ankle) is active and will start Thursday night's Week 4 game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Decker was injured in Week 1 and missed the previous two games. His return is a big boost to an already-strong offensive line. Swing tackle Matt Nelson will likely head back to the bench.
Sep 27, 2023
Questionable for Thursday
Decker (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Packers, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has missed the past two weeks but has a chance at playing Thursday after serving as a limited participant in practice three times this week. Detroit will hope the 29-year-old will be able to play, as they will already be shorthand on the offensive line since Halapoulivaati Vaitai has already been ruled out with a knee injury.
Sep 24, 2023
Not playing Sunday
Decker (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Decker was ruled out Saturday, so his appearance on the inactive list was expected. In his absence, Penei Sewell should swing over to left tackle, while Matt Nelson will likely get the start at right tackle.
Sep 16, 2023
Ruled out for Week 2
Decker (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Decker suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 and he will now be sidelined for the Lions matchup with Seattle in Week 2. Matt Nelson seems likley to draw the start at left tackle in his absence.
Sep 15, 2023
Doubtful for Week 2
Decker (ankle) is listed as doubtful going into Sunday's game against Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Decker injured his ankle during Detroit's Week 1 victory over Kansas City and he's been held out of practice all week. The Lions' don't expect the 29-year-old to suit up this Sunday, which most likely makes Matt Nelson the team's starting left tackle.
Jun 17, 2022
Full participant at minicamp
Decker (foot) was a full participant during minicamp, Nick Baumgardner of the Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker didn't participate in OTAs while dealing with the "residual effects from rehabbing all offseason," so it's encouraging to see him back to full participation during minicamp. The 2016 first-round pick suffered the foot injury during the 2021 regular-season finale, but he looks poised to be the starting left tackle Week 1.
Jun 1, 2022
Foot injury lingers
Decker (foot) is not participating in OTAs while he deals with "residual effects from rehabbing all offseason," but he would be able to play right now if needed, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com
ANALYSIS
Decker injured his foot in the 2021 regular-season finale against Green Bay. While it does not appear that his rehab from the injury has gone smoothly, it does not appear that the Lions are worried about his availability for the upcoming season. Instead, it appears the team is simply taking it slow with its left tackle before training camp, when Decker should be allowed to practice.
Jan 9, 2022
Picks up injury
Decker (foot) was injured in the Lions' win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Decker picked up the injury in the fourth quarter and was questionable to return. The game has since concluded.
Jan 8, 2022
Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list
Decker was activated off of the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle was placed on the COVID list Monday, clearing protocols in time to be available for the Lions' season finale in Week 18. Decker will return to his starting role protecting either Jared Goff (knee) or Tim Boyle's blindside versus the Packers on Sunday.
Jan 3, 2022
Enters COVID protocols
Decker (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, as a result of testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker's potential absence Sunday against the Packers would be a huge blow to the offensive line, and apparently their depleted tight-end positional depth chart, after Decker received two targets and caught a touchdown Sunday against the Seahawks. If Decker can't go Sunday, Matt Nelson or Will Holden will likely draw the start at left tackle.
Jan 3, 2022
Catches touchdown
Decker caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Down at tight end with T.J. Hockenson (finger) and Brock Wright (COVID-19) sidelined, Detroit directed two targets to offensive tackles on the final drive of the game after failing to deliver one to a tight end at any point before. While it worked out for Decker to get open for a goal-line touchdown, this situation mainly helps show how no Detroit tight end will be worthy of even a DFS dart throw when the Lions close out the season with a Week 18 matchup with the Packers.
Nov 14, 2021
Active against Pittsburgh
Decker (finger) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected after being activated from the IR, Decker will start at left tackle and is set to make his season debut. His return to the offensive line will move rookie Penei Sewell to right tackle.
Nov 2, 2021
Activated from IR
Decker was activated from injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
After suffering a finger injury in the preseason, Decker has been inactive for all of the Lions' games in 2021. It was reported Oct. 20 that he could miss the remainder of the season, so his activation comes as a positive surprise for the team. The 27-year-old will likely return to his starting spot at left tackle, shifting rookie Penei Sewell over to the right tackle position.
Oct 20, 2021
Could miss season
Decker (finger) could be shut down for the rest of season, according to Chris Burke of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Decker was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 11th. He then returned to practice on Oct.13th. Now though, head coach Dan Campbell is saying there's a chance Decker will be shut down for the season at the end of his three-week IR-return window. Decker still has two weeks to be ready, so it's certainly too soon to say anything definitive. Decker has started every game he has played for the Lions, since being drafted in the first-round in 2016. The Lions 2021 first-rounder Penei Sewell has been filling Decker's role, while Matt Nelson has been playing right tackle.
Oct 13, 2021
Returns to practice
Decker (finger) returned to practice from injured reserve Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker was slated to be the Lions' starting left tackle this season, but a finger injury has caused him to miss the first five weeks of the season. The 27-year-old will have a 21-day window to be added to the active roster, and if he's not, he will return to injured reserve for the remainder of the season.
Oct 4, 2021
Unlikely to return in Week 5
Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Decker (finger) is "highly unlikely" to return from injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker has been sidelined since the start of the season after he underwent finger surgery in September, and he'll require at least one more week to recover. Penei Sewell will continue to serve as the starting left tackle while Matt Nelson starts at right tackle.
Sep 11, 2021
Placed on injured reserve
Decker (finger) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker was already ruled out for Sunday's season opener against San Francisco, and he'll require finger surgery that will keep him sidelined for at least the first three games of the year. The 2016 first-rounder is expected to return after about a month, but Matt Nelson should serve as the starting left tackle to begin the season.
Sep 11, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Decker (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Decker was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he didn't practice Thursday or Friday. The 27-year-old's finger injury may require surgery, which would likely miss him to miss several weeks. Matt Nelson will likely start at left tackle in Sunday's season opener.
Sep 10, 2021
Not expected to play
Decker (finger) isn't expected to play in Sunday's season opener against the 49ers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
With Decker unlikely to play in Week 1, the severity of the tackles' finger injury may be more serious than what was first thought. The injury may require surgery, which could force Decker to miss at least a couple of weeks. Expect Matt Nelson to start in relief of Decker in Sunday's season opener.
Nov 1, 2020
Starting against Colts
Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game versus the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Despite sitting out Friday's practice, Decker will start at left tackle against the Colts on Sunday. The Colts have a strong front seven, although their pass rush has been mediocre with just 13 sacks through six games.
Oct 30, 2020
Questionable against Colts
Decker (shoulder) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker sat out Friday's practice after being limited Thursday, so his status isn't very favorable heading into Week 8. The starting left tackle has played every snap this season, and the offensive line would take a major hit without him in the fold. Expect Matt Nelson to step in if Decker is ultimately ruled out.
Sep 1, 2020
Inks big-dollar extension
Decker signed a six-year, $85 million contract Tuesday with $37.5 million guaranteed, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker secured a major payday and is now the eighth highest-paid left tackle in the NFL, and now he's locked down through the 2025 season. The Lions are starting to acquire encouraging talent through the draft and free agency, and Decker will be a major piece of their rebuild.
Sep 22, 2019
Ready to go Sunday
Decker (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker appears primed to draw his usual start at left tackle. He was limited in practice all week due to a back injury.
Sep 20, 2019
Questionable for Week 3
Decker (back) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Decker was limited in practice all week due to his back injury. If Decker is forced to miss any more time, expect Tyrell Crosby to draw another start at left tackle Sunday in Philadelphia.
Sep 16, 2019
Doesn't play Week 2
Decker (back) didn't play in Week 2's game versus the Chargers, David Birkett of The Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker was replaced by Tyrell Crosby at left tackle, and Crosby will stay at that position until Decker is healthy.
Sep 15, 2019
Questionable for Week 2
Decker (back) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Decker appears to be trending towards sitting out Week 2. The fourth-year pro was a limited participant in practice all week. Tyrell Crosby will likely draw the start at left tackle in the event that Decker is forced to miss time.
